chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 (edited) Play resumed, 334/6 off 109, just 16 more for the 4th bowling point and 11 overs to do it which should be a doddle. We'd need 66 off 11 to get 5 batting points which is clearly far less likely. Edited 18 September, 2009 by chrisobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 400 was always a long shot, only 55 behind so a good recovery from 114/4. Benham, Pothas ( as always) and Ervine all did very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Would the bad light maybe explain why they brought someone in to bowl who doesn't normally? That can happen but Griffiths was bowling from the other end so that would not explain it I don't think. Another mystery ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 No surprise, game drawn. Puts on 158 points, ahead of Lancs and I think we'll be well clear of either Sussex or Yorks depending on the result but still ahead of both of them whatever happens.

chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Yorks are batting 2nd time around and are pretty much level with Sussex with all wickets intact, a defeat for Sussex would be just the job and just about relegate them I think but a draw would still leave them 2nd bottom.

Dark Munster Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 No surprise, game drawn. Puts on 158 points, ahead of Lancs and I think we'll be well clear of either Sussex or Yorks depending on the result but still ahead of both of them whatever happens. Assuming Yorks v. Sussex ends in a draw, a Hants draw against Yorks ensures safety. But Yorks will be hungry for a win to ensure their safety. So if Hants lose to Yorks and Sussex beat Notts (will they possibly roll over as revenge for last year??), then it's squeaky bum time. If Sussex do win their last match and Hants lose, they could both finish joint second bottom with the same number of points, wins and losses, and their head-to-head record point-wise is identical: if so, anyone know who wins the tie-breaker?

Berkshire Saint Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 After that it's done on wickets taken and runs scored! Can't be bothered to work that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 After that it's done on wickets taken and runs scored! Can't be bothered to work that out... Seems little point as I'd have good money on it not coming to that ! Yorks are 147/2 v Sussex, a lead of 102. A draw looks most likely though if Yorks lose wickets it might set up an interesting finish on what I believe is a turning pitch. However, on the assumption it is a draw then not only would Sussex have to win their last game ( v Notts I think) and us lose they would need 3 more bonus points as well before wickets taken and runs scored were taken into account. Indeed even Lancs could enter the equation, they would have to at least draw to have a chance of overtaking us in their last game v Warwickshire. That's all assuming we lose and we are going to be as keen to win/draw as Yorks are so that should be an interesting game. In truth though it's very hard to see Sussex winning at Trent Bridge, the last match there Notts made 352, Yorks 256 and 519/8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few bonus points now needed for both Hants and Yorks. Friendly draw here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly draw here we come! 2 to be exact and only then if Sussex get maximum points (20) from their last game. All out for 83 indeed and in less than 26 overs, a hat trick for Hoggard.

Actually they could get 22 maximum points, so at most 3 needed by Hants (assuming Hants win the tie-breaker if level on points). But still not much to lose sleep about. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still not much to lose sleep about. :cool: Yes, I keep thinking it is 12 for a win rather than 14 which seems an odd amount to me! But indeed we are nicely placed to retain our CC1 status which as I mentioned earlier is pretty crucial really especially if we hope to sign one or 2 new players. I reckon with at least one new pace bowler ( Kabir Ali?) and several young players looking really promising we could have a chance of winning CC1 though of course Durham set the standard any team needs to match. However, beyond them most of the teams are pretty similar in strength. I can remember the 1973 CC title ( and we should have won it in '74) and 36 years is way too long!
